@Legion X51@ASTA
Haven't heard much more from you two; still making nation sheets? We have some room left.

Uh, I think poor Willy is still trying to figure out a name for his emperor

He should name the guy King Julian, in honor of the narcissist lemur king from Penguins of Madagascar. Look at the guy, he's such an elf.

Tick, tock, Hael! Five days? That means three days to pack up, move, unpack something you can use to write on the Internet, and then get a post up! And then you still have to finish two sections of your history and write about the military! And by then you will have fallen behind IC and will need to wrote more posts. IS THE STRESS GETTING TO YOU YET?!?!





But seriously, I hope the move goes well. For whatever reason my family has moved a lot in the past, so I know how stressful and annoying it can be.

@Voltus_Ventus

To be blunt I'm a bit nervous at the pace at which this has started. Normally there is a storm of posts in the first few days. After we all spent so long working on sheets and histories I thinm it's fair to say that we really don't want this RP to sizzle out.

I recall someone a few pages back asking if they were too late. I think we should let them in. I'd say that the map has room enough for two more nations, and I really feel that we should see if we can fill in those spots. I personally don't think that we're to a point where there are too many posts or nations to keep track of.

Just my two cents. Anybody else care to chime in regarding this?

Edit: Come to realize, I retract my statement about the pace being slow. It's only been a few days and posts are in progress, with some sheets still in the works.

But I still think that we could let a few more people in.

In feudal times, for some cultures there was no concept of a teenager. 12 year olds were considered men and expected to participate in armed manhunts for criminals.

Yup, Tin has its own idea of adulthood.

Thank The Savior that I have a modern navy.

@Voltus_Ventus

They wouldn't target Ventium, since Tin valuea its relations with that place and would be rather angry if they attacked. That and Ventium is just a bad target in general, with a big scary navy and little stuff worth taking the risk to raid.

Yamatai, the elven Zanjir Islands, and to a lesser extent Avalia and the PRK are probably their favorite victims.

I started writing about Tin's navy and made an entry for Sea Jackals. They're Tinite pirates, and like the elven mercenaries they'll work for just about anybody.

The best part is that half the time they do so for free (for the winning side, of course) because they are content to just make profit by selling stolen boats and cargo. And they ransom captured sailors for exorbitant prices, of course.

@Willy Vereb

The first Sultan was Temujin, a great warrior that conquered half a dozen khanates and united Tin. An amazing achievement, considering the lands that he conquered and controlled were almost as large as modern-day Tin.

The most violent and zealous was perhaps Timur, he was the one that conquered half of KalMea and also fought in the crusades to the north (in what is now Avalia) no doubt killing hundreds of thousands.

Those are probably the two most famous Sultans and the ancestors that Banur always talks about honoring, but both have been dead for centuries.

As in for the more recent ones, they've been stubborn and traditional, refusing to change and causing Tin to decline while they do little more than live in luxury and expand the already massive palace complex in Saroy City. Babur's father and grandfather were slightly more competent, having the wisdom to establish relations with Ventium and modernize the country with telegraph lines and a better navy.

One thing that would definitely stick is out that Babur is only 18 (most Sultans would rule from perhaps 30 or 40 until they died, usually at least in their mid 60s) and he certainly has some fire, like Baktu commented.

For circa when they reigned, I've been avoiding the use of dates thus far because we have no official timeline and I don't want to create any contradictions. See my above statement about when they usually rule from (Babur's father died in his 50s) and you could probably figure out roughly how long ago each successor was coronated.

@Mihndar

That sounds good. I suppose I'll have him as the "honored guest"/advisor of tbe PRK. We can introduce him whenever you want.
